Hamlin Plantation in October: A Busy Month for Single-Family Closings, and More Room to Choose for Townhome Buyers

Six single-family homes closed in Hamlin Plantation in October, and just three were left on the market by month's end. Townhomes told a different story, with no closings and eight homes available. Here's what the latest Charleston Trident MLS numbers say about this North Mount Pleasant community off Rifle Range Road, and what they mean if you're thinking about buying or selling.

Hamlin Plantation's October 2026 Market in Brief

In October 2026, Hamlin Plantation's single-family market stayed tight while its townhome market gave buyers more breathing room. Six single-family detached homes closed at a median sales price of $1,200,000, with sellers receiving an average of 95.6% of their original list price, and only three single-family homes were for sale on October 31. No townhomes closed during the month, and eight townhomes were on the market at month's end. (Source: Charleston Trident MLS, October 1–31, 2026.)

One caution as you read neighborhood numbers: Hamlin Plantation is a small sample, and a single high- or low-priced sale can swing a monthly median. That's why we look at the year-to-date trend and the current inventory alongside each month's closings.

Single-Family Homes: Six Closings and Very Little Left on the Shelf

Six single-family homes closed in Hamlin Plantation in October, up from two in October 2025. Sale prices ranged from just under $1,000,000 to $2,075,000, with a median of $1,200,000 and an average of about $1,415,000. Sellers received an average of 98.5% of their final list price and 95.6% of their original list price, and one home sold above its asking price.

Pricing made the difference in how quickly these homes sold. Three of the six went under contract within 12 days of hitting the market, while the others took longer, including one that needed more than three months and a few price adjustments to find its buyer. The average was 32 days on market. One note on that number: one of the six homes had been listed earlier, taken off the market, and relisted, and the 32-day average counts only its most recent listing period. Counting that home's full time on the market across both listings, October's single-family average rises to about 64 days. It's also worth knowing that October closings mostly reflect contracts written in August and September, so they tell us what buyers were willing to pay in late summer.

Looking ahead, the supply picture is what stands out. Four new single-family listings came on in October, two went under contract during the month, and only three were active on October 31. Year to date, 28 single-family homes have sold at a median of $1,210,000, compared with 24 sales and a $1,300,000 median during the same stretch of 2025. More homes are selling, and the mix of homes selling has shifted toward the lower end of the neighborhood's price range.

Townhomes: A Quiet Month for Closings, With More Inventory

No townhomes closed in Hamlin Plantation in October, compared with three in October 2025. Two new townhome listings came on the market, one went under contract, and eight were active on October 31.

Eleven townhomes have sold so far this year, at a median price of $520,000, down from 18 sales and a $559,500 median over the same period last year, and the average townhome took 56 days to sell. In plain terms, townhome buyers in Hamlin Plantation currently have time to compare options, and sellers are competing with more neighbors for the same buyers.

How Hamlin Plantation Compares to North Mount Pleasant and Charleston County

Across North Mount Pleasant, single-family closings fell 28.8% in October compared with last year, to 47 sales, and the median sales price was $970,000, down 14.2%. Homes that sold there spent an average of 30 days on market, and sellers received 96.7% of their original list price. Hamlin Plantation's six closings and 32 average days on market line up closely with that pace.

The townhome trend in Hamlin Plantation mirrors the wider area. North Mount Pleasant had 72 townhomes for sale at the end of October, up 56.5% from a year ago, and townhomes there took an average of 53 days to sell. Charleston County as a whole was steadier, with townhome and condo inventory down 1.1% and single-family inventory down 7.3% from last year. The county's single-family median was $726,500, with an average of 44 days on market. (Source: Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® Local Market Updates, October 2026.)

What This Means for Buyers

If you're shopping for a single-family home in Hamlin Plantation, expect limited choices at any given moment. Well-priced homes have been going under contract quickly, so it helps to have your financing lined up and to know which parts of the neighborhood and which features matter most before the right home comes along. At the same time, sellers are generally landing a few percentage points below their original list price, so there may be room for thoughtful negotiation, especially on homes that have been on the market for a while.

Townhome buyers are in a stronger position right now. With eight townhomes for sale and 11 townhome sales so far this year, you have time to compare, ask questions, and negotiate on price or terms.

What This Means for Sellers

Single-family sellers are entering the late fall with little direct competition inside the neighborhood, and that's a real advantage. October showed, though, that buyers respond to pricing. The homes that sold fastest were priced in line with recent sales, while the homes that started higher took longer and needed adjustments.

Townhome sellers should plan for a longer timeline and more competition. Pricing based on what has actually sold this year, rather than on last year's peak, and making sure your home shows at its best will help it stand out among the other townhomes on the market.

One of those homes had been relisted; counting its full time on the market across both listings, the October average is about 64 days. Townhomes that have sold in 2026 averaged 56 days on market.

Is Hamlin Plantation a buyer's or seller's market?

It depends on the type of home. Only three single-family homes were for sale at the end of October, and well-priced ones have been going under contract quickly, which gives single-family sellers an edge. Townhome buyers have more leverage, with eight townhomes for sale and 11 townhome sales so far this year.

The Bottom Line

October gave Hamlin Plantation two distinct markets. Single-family homes are selling steadily with very little inventory, while townhome buyers have more options and more time to decide. In both cases, the homes that sell are the ones priced to match what buyers are actually paying, and that is where local, data-driven guidance matters most.
